Abstract

Charge dissipation in previous Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) ferroelectrets was observed and the piezoelectric coefficient d 33 of most samples drop to below 10 pC/N in one month after charging. This issue limits its long-term energy harvesting performance. This paper presents an approach to coat the PDMS with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to enhance the surface charge stability of the ferroelectret. After coating a thin PTFE film in the void surfaces of PDMS ferroelectret, the piezoelectric coefficient d 33 obtained remained at 80 pC/N after 6 months.
